What does the command export=system do for a knowledge object?

The command export=system indicates that the knowledge object being created or modified is intended to be shared globally across all apps within the Splunk environment. When a knowledge object is marked with export=system, it allows other users and apps to access and utilize that object, enhancing collaboration and the consistency of data interpretation across teams and functionalities.

This setting is particularly useful for ensuring that critical knowledge objects, such as event types, tags, or macros, are defined once and can be leveraged by all users, regardless of the app they are using. By promoting knowledge objects to a global status, Splunk helps maintain a unified approach to data management and analysis within the organization, preventing duplication and fostering better data practices.

In contrast, the other choices reflect different scopes of accessibility for knowledge objects but do not support the concept of global sharing.
